[PATCH 4.8 57/92] watchdog: core: Fix devres_alloc() allocation size

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



4.8-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Guenter Roeck <linux@xxxxxxxxxxxx>

commit 2e91838bf7ffdedabdb29e091207d6531d04ef4f upstream.

Coverity reports:

Passing argument 152UL /* sizeof (*wdd) */ to function __devres_alloc_node
and then casting the return value to struct watchdog_device ** is
suspicious.

Allocation size needs to be sizeof(*rcwdd), not sizeof(*wdd).

Fixes: 83fbae5a148c ("watchdog: Add a device managed API for ...")
